Legend of Zelda

The Shadow of The Past

Link kept his head down as he walked through the halls of his new school. He hated the fact that because his mother died he and his father were forced from their village because they weren't originally part of the village. But they were and now he was in high school with others who thought that he was a freak. Others that hated him just because he was a little different.

Just then Link saw two boys that had tri-colored hair. He smiled at the scene that was in front of him. Ever since Link had gotten there two months ago he saw that those two always had a group of people around them. Link wasn't sure but he had a feeling it was because one of them was the Dueling Champion.

Link continued to watch the two wishing at the same time that he had friends or even a single friend. But he knew that it would never happen. He was too different. He would never have any real friends like the two boys did. But he really did want a friend so that he could have someone to talk to other than his father.

Yugi looked up from the game he and his brother was playing when he sensed the new kid walk by. He nodded at his brother and Yami smiled. He looked over his shoulder and smiled at their four friends that were there that day and they nodded as well. Then he stood up and walked over to where Link was standing.

"Hey why don't you join us?" asked Yami to a surprised Link

"R-really?" asked Link shocked.

"Yeah." said Yami but Link noticed that as the two walked back to the others that the crowd started to thin out.

"I'm sorry. I can't do this." said Link and he turned to leave but Yami caught his arm and said "We don't care at all about them. These are our real friends." and he pointed to the four that were standing around Yugi. Link could tell that they were indeed close to the two boys just from the way they were standing.

"This is Tristan." said Yami pointing at the tall brunette "Joey." he said pointing to the blonde "Duke." he said nodding at the green eyed boy standing beside Joey. "And that is Tea." He finished pointing at the only girl there. "We have a few other friends but they aren't here right now."

"I'm Link." he said surprised that the six most popular kids would want to be friends with him let alone even talk to him. Ever since he was a kid Link only had one friend but when he moved he was forced to leave her behind and since he didn't know where he and his father were moving to he couldn't tell his friend so that they could keep in touch.

"You know Link you don't have to worry." said Yami, who as always knew what was troubling his friends. "We're really friends."

"How-?"

"Yami can sense other people feelings." said Yugi quietly "You see the people that you see around us aren't really friends. Tea Tristan Duke Joey Yami and I aren't exactly what you would call normal either."

"What do you mean?" asked Link

"Yugi can move things with his mind; Tea can see things that happen before and after they happen. Both Tristan Duke can hear thoughts and Joey can talk to and understand any animal." said another brunette walking up to them.

"Seto I didn't think you were going to be here today." said Yami.

"I came to get you and the others. There's a problem back home that needs help." said Seto

"Let them deal with it." said Joey. "They're the ones who kicked us out."

"Jounouchi." said Yugi sternly and Link couldn't believe the force of power that was labeled with just the one name.

"Yugi is a commander back home." said Yami sensing Link's confusion again.

"Wait where are you guys from exactly?" asked Link

"You should know Link." said Seto though they hadn't been introduced. "We're from Hyrule."

"No way." said Link shocked.

"Yes but as Joey said we were casted out long ago." said Yami then he turned to Yugi. "I have to agree with Joey. They're the ones that casted us out."

"Maybe but we do have the power and we took the oath to always protect our world." said Yugi "Remember?"

"Yes I remember but there is no way we can go back since they did cast us out." said Yami "Now if the battle was here then it wouldn't be a problem but since we can't go back then we can't do anything."

"Wait why can't you go back?" asked Seto confused.

"Because the ones that casted us out laid a curse on the six of us." said Yami looking at Yugi and Link could tell that Yugi had known about the reason his brother didn't want to return to help Hyrule. "If the six of us even step foot in Hyrule again then we lose all of our power and Yugi knows that."

"Yami your sister needs you." said Seto. "You always told her that you would be there for her but now you're going to turn your back on her?"

"Well she didn't help the six of us as we were casted out for doing something we never did." said Yami

"Did you ever think that the real penalty for what happened would have been death?" asked Seto "Zelda did you a favor by casting you out."

"Wait did you say Zelda?" asked Link looking at Seto, who turned back to Link with a look of confusion.

"Yes why?"

"I know her. Before my mother died and father and I had to leave Hyrule Zelda and I were the best of friends. We grew up together." said Link, though he didn't tell them everything that the two were involved in, and then he looked at Yugi and Yami. "She's your sister?"

"Yes. We were younger but no one really knew about us being related to Zelda." said Yami

"And you won't help her?" asked Link angry.

"There isn't anything we can do." said Yugi. "Yami's right."

"No he's not. I know because I know what it's like going up an enemy without any power." said Link.

"I bet you do." said Tea smiling and Link knew that she saw the battles that he had been in before. "Yugi Yami we have to help."

"But how are we going to get around the curse on us?" asked Yami

"Leave that to me." said Link surprising them all. "There's a reason after my mother died that my father and I were kicked out. It's because my powers are stronger than even the top mages. I can easily remove the curse on you six once we get back to Hyrule."

"There's a catch isn't there?" asked Joey

"Yes. I have to get the Grimhold." said Link

"What's the Grimhold?" asked Yami

"It's a book that has all of my family's spells in it. When mother died my brother took it and used the magic in it to make my father look exactly like me and strip his powers. When I found out what Lorndon had done I went after him to reverse it."

"But you didn't make it?" asked Seto

"Oh no I made it but when he and I fought he made it look as if I had betrayed the whole village." said Link.

"That's why you two were casted out of the village." said Yami

"That's right." said Link.

"But how will that help?" asked Seto "If you were, like the others, casted out of the village because of something then wouldn't you be the same as the others?"

"Not quite." said a new voice.

Yami and the others turned to see the new comer and where shocked at the similarities between the two. Link smiled as he turned to his father and nodded. "Guys this is my father. Lendon."

"It's nice to finally meet you guys."

"Huh?" asked Yami

"I've heard a lot about you guys." said Lendon. "Link it's time to go home."

"Yugi are you guys okay with this?" asked Link

"Yes." said Yugi "Let's go. Seto go tell Zelda we're coming."

"Alright." said Seto and he left.
